OPFAC Modifiers are alpha-numeric and up to six (6) characters long. (paragraph 4)

The DoDAAD is a database that serves as a single authoritative source of identification, routing, and address information for the DoD, Coast Guard, and other participating federal agencies, as well as authorized contractors.
